Infections may be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Medical microbiology offers methods to microbiologists to study about characteristics of pathogens, transmission modes, mechanisms by which they infect the host and grow. Microbiology techniques are being discovered and developed to diagnose and devise these infections. Furthermore, microorganisms are being commercially exploited for production of antibiotics,antitumor, antiseptics, vaccines and disinfectants.
